Mailing tips for overseas available An illustrated pamphlet — “Mail For Serviceman”—out lining the expanded program for airlifting letters, packages and other military mail over seas at low postal rates is now available through Newberry Post Office window clerks, Postmaster Harry E. Moose announced today. Postmaster Moose said that “as a result of new legislation and action by President John son w r e are now r airlifting more than 75 percent of all mail go ing to the military men and women stationed abroad. We hope this guide will help more American families be familiar with these services and use them.” The 8-page pamphlet illus trates three services for air- llifting parcels at rates the average family can afford, the speedy service now available for newspapers and news mag azines to most overseas bases, the special rates for books and similar educational materials, and how to mail sound-recorded messages. The guide also pro vides parcel wrapping instruc tions, information on the time it takes parcels to reach Viet nam and other overseas bases from major U. S. cities, and pointers on the correct way to address military mail. A family sending a 10-lb package from here to Viet nam, for example, pays only $3.40 on a package marked “PAL“, while the air parcel rate for the same package is $8.08, Postmaster Moose said. On parcels weighing less than 5 lbs it might be more advan tageous for a family to use the older (SAM) Space Available Mail service, which provides surface transportation to the port of embarkation and air lift overseas. A. four-pound SAM package to a European military post from Newberry costs only 85c. On packages weighing under two pounds air parcel post is often the patrons “best buy” for through airlift service, the pamphlet suggests. George N. Long City Mrs. Annie L.
